ATLAS COPCO, Drilling Solutions Division, Garland, Texas 9/ 2000 - 10/ 2009

Senior Design Engineer, Sustaining Group (2008- 2009)

Senior Design Engineer, New Product Development (2000 - 2008)

. Conceptualized, developed solid models and production documentation and

BOM's to implement a new PV275 tower structure with larger capacity drill

rods to open up new market segments not covered by the initial product

specifications.

. Conceptualized, proposed, planned, managed, and implemented a quick

interchangeable tower assembly to meet Peabody Coal's special requirement

for deeper drill depth and tower swap time on their multi-machine order

which was delivered ahead of schedule.

. Analysis, presented, and implemented a 65' single-pass tower option on

the PV271 to meet Stafford Mine's special requirement which resulted in

other world-wide customers wanting that option which increase their

mining efficiency.

. Rescued the PV270 prototype project from a major structural design flaw

in the mainframe resulting in 157 machines being delivered worldwide from

2003 to 2008.

. Conducted feasibility analysis for multiple new projects.

. Analyzed field problems, formulated and implemented solutions through

field instructions to repair damaged equipment.

. Developed, modeled, and tested new drill rod carousel to handle larger

capacity drill rods on the CM780 crawler product and to resolve the

indexing problem on the existing design.

STANLEY, Mechanics Tools Division, Dallas, Texas 6/ 1998 - 8/ 2000

Senior Project Engineer, Drive Tools Group

. Designed new hand tools for the consumer, professional and industrial

markets to meet or exceed ANSI standards.

. Provided engineering support for new ratchet projects and cost reduction

to meet company objectives by using new materials and manufacturing

process (powder metal, MIM, investment casting, hot forging, and die-

casting).

. Conducted component hardness, ratchet ultimate torque, and cycle life

testing for product performance verification and preformed ANSI required

testing as well as analyzed root cause of product failures.

. Utilized rapid prototyping (SLA) technology to develop new ratchet

samples to be used during customer focus group meetings to determine and

evaluate market acceptance.

INGERSOLL-RAND CO., Rotary Drill Division, Garland, Texas 10/ 1983 - 4/

1998

Engineering Manager, Large Blast-Hole Group (1995 - 1998)

Design Engineer - Development Department (1983 - 1994)

. Managed a team of engineers and designers to support existing large blast-

hole products in the field and shop production of 63 drills built and

delivered worldwide.

. Reviewed new projects and evaluated options for feasibility resulting in

the completion of two of the largest sale orders in the company's history

for Russia and Indonesia that invoiced $11.45 million and $9.58 million

respectively.

. Planned projects and scheduled resources for the development of new large

blast-hole products for future markets.

. Conceptualized the basic rig configuration and produced designs on major

structural, hydraulic, and electrical system for numerous self-contained

crawler mounted blast-hole drilling rigs and a truck mounted water well

drilling rigs (DM-M, T3W, DM-30, DM-M2 and DM-M3).

. Invented the double rod feed system used on the DM-M3 which simplified

and surpassed the feed speeds of all existing equipment as well as those

of our competition and still resides as the class leader which generated

$35 million in sales revenue within 7 years of inception.

. Project leader responsible for upgrading the DM-M from 60,000 to 75,000

pounds of drill bit load and incorporating product improvements to the

overall performance. Instructed, coordinated and managed the efforts of

a design team to complete a $2.5 million rig order for Australia.

. Conceptualized, structurally analyzed, created, and implemented a new 185

hp hydraulically driven rotary power-head gear box for the DM-M3 and a

new 165 hp rotary power-head for the upgrade program to the DM-30.
